Technical Program Manager, Silicon

About the role

Anthropic is building custom silicon for its Claude AI model. The Technical Program Manager will own end‑to‑end execution of the silicon program, from architecture definition through tape‑out, first‑silicon bring‑up and production ramp, working with a small team of domain experts and external partners.

Key responsibilities

• Own the integrated silicon program plan – architecture closure, RTL freeze, verification milestones, IP delivery, physical design closure, DFT, tape‑out, and post‑silicon bring‑up.
• Drive external partner execution across ASIC design partners, IP vendors, foundry, and packaging/test.
• Run technology and IP selection as a program: track candidate vendors, evaluate options, and make build/buy/license decisions with engineering leadership.
• Build execution mechanisms for the silicon team – milestone definitions, risk and dependency tracking, design reviews, release management, executive reporting – keeping them lightweight enough for engineers to use.
• Manage the interface between silicon and its consumers: hardware systems for package/board bring‑up and inference/kernels/compiler teams for hardware‑software co‑design, ensuring coordinated trade‑off decisions.
• Own the post‑silicon program – bring‑up planning, ATE/test handoff, sample distribution, validation, and path to production readiness.
• Develop and share AI‑assisted approaches to program management – schedule and dependency modeling, spec and milestone consistency checking, partner‑deliverable tracking, status synthesis.

Required profile

• 8+ years of experience in silicon/SoC program management, chip lead, or an equivalent role that owned a chip schedule end‑to‑end.

Required skills

• Silicon/SoC program management
• ASIC design flow
• IP integration and verification
• Design‑for‑Test (DFT)
• Physical design and tape‑out processes
• Analog/mixed‑signal design
• Silicon bring‑up and validation
• AI‑assisted program‑management tools
